The short winter days flicker by, but the festive season nears an end and then this podcast should find a schedule. It's warm and bright outside, a weather that permeates todays stories and brings a certain morbidity. Or morbidness. Discuss.

The DoomSkulls of Power carol in the year. Later Prometheus Project lend us an echo of their bewitching Your Mother Suckled You With Bile Not Milk, You Brute.

There are two lies in this piece. Firstly, I was involved in the decision and the implementation of the pants on heads fiasco. Secondly, the whole thing with the mummy didn't actually happen. My father does work at a museum, and I am in love with the backrooms, but the story with unwanted cadavre is a Curator's Urban Legend that he collected while visiting other museums. I don't know if there is any truth in it at all. If you've ever incinerated a several-century old corpse contact me, I'd love to hear about it!

Coming soon, a season of Greek Myths!

Gogol's The Nose, Part i

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol 1809 to 1852, which was too short a spell for such an interesting person to spend with us. I was reading a translation of Dead Souls and marvelling at the light, chatty tone with which Gogol wrote.

It's a shame, I thought, that Gogol died before the birth of the internet. He'd have been a great podcaster.

I will attempt to rectify this matter, and as re-animating Gogol is out of the question, (And how would we converse? I do not speak Russian.) for the next fortnight I'll run an adaptation of The Nose, an absurd and absurdist short story.

Enjoy.
